Thanks to the Foundation for its standing against this censorship. I hope
and expect that this position will be upheld.

Regards

A sudden thought... and what if the whole story had been entirely made
up ? As in "Amazon staff member made the complain to the UK foundation
in hope it would give a kick to the album sale ?"

Right, I am dreaming, but I like the "what ifs" :-)

I would be curious to know sales for that album in dec 08 compared to
other months. My brother also was a big fan of scorpions (and I must
confess it was the least bad of all heavy metal groups he was listening
to), and I regret we dumped all these old albums. It feels like it could
become a collector...
